So Phil Kessel basically?
Nah, because the army is more like jail, it's like you are a liability to the other prisoners in jail
So Matt Duchene basically?
Like Gomer Pyle in Full Metal Jacket, the movie draws from reality
And there were blanket parties like FMJ, and there were jail yard beat downs too

I get you. But who is the closest hockey player analogy?

blade? blade buddy?
Is that like backstab or something?
Yeah, a "blade" is somebody who puts themselves above the team, we say "don't blade buddy"
Same thing as a blue falcon, right?
Exactly, blade is Canadian Army slang for buddy fucker

DrY is actually of the officer class tho
As a medical doctor, he would automatically be a Major
The officers are more cut throat, they have their own set of rules separate from the ranks
They are actually competing against each other for command spots, so they have a different idea of blade

When you're in a command position, even just a Section Commander like me, you have to do things which the troops in the ranks think are "buddy fucking", but they're wrong, because once you're in command, you're not their buddy anymore

At this point its martial law, so there's no point in rebelling, this is what it's like in the army
The other team members have to rely on you, if you're a blade, if you blade buddy, that's the lowest of the low
My work is in the hospital...
So my family carries the increased risk that I carry.
And they can spread this to others.
So they have to carry a greater burden of responsibility.
It's not fair... they say... and it's true.
But war's not fair.
Shoulder your gear... and march.

Oh I know, I'm not one of the people who says "this is just the flu"
The hospital is the front, that's where it will concentrate and be most deadly

If it peaked like in Italy, I would just stay at the front, I wouldn't come home and risk giving it to Mrs Smitty
That's how you escape the house, just squat in the jungle with Charlie
